Reader Reviews
This is an intelligent and thoughtful treatment of a subject that goes to the heart of the ancient dog-human relationship. While there are many wonderful stories of war-dog heroism in this book, its greatest and unique contribution is its overall look at our use of dogs in wars since World War I. The book is compassionate without being sentimental, and historical without getting caught up in military jargon or minutiae. The writing is clear, straightforward, and fluid--it is a pleasure to read, and re-read. As an aminal writer, I have found it a valuable resource. The information is thorough and well documented, though never dry. You will be infuriated by some of the harebrained schemes the military (in the far-away upper levels) has cooked up over the years and touched by the depth of the caring that the trainers, veterinarians, and especially the handlers had, and continue to have, for their dogs. A wonderful book and a must for every serious student of the dog-human relationship.
